[MY FAVORITE PARK SLOPE...]: CHICKEN SALAD

It's the chicken Florentine salad at Bagel Market, and I can't get enough of it. And it's healthy!

Two things:  

1. Yes, I realize that chicken salad loaded in delicious mayonaise-y gloppiness is pretty fantastic. But remember folks: #myfatass. I need an alternative.
2. I further realize that this picture doesn't look particularly appetizing...all I can tell you is that this shit is GOOD. 

While I don't have the official ingredient list, basically it's white meat chicken, capers, onions and spinach in some light olive oil, salt, pepper type of "dressing." The chicken salad, as you can see, is not chopped up as it it normally is in regular chicken salad (though it *is* in smaller pieces). I mean, shit: I'm not even sure that this stuff should technically be called chicken salad, but that's what I'm calling it. 

I like it best on one of their everything mini-bagels, with a smidge of light mayo and cut-up grape tomatoes. 

And if you're into this school of chicken salad, I should mention that they have like 19 other versions. There's one with egg whites, one with peppers...I forget what they're all called, but they're all on the bottom row of their deli case toward the register. 

The last thing that I should note about this magical chicken salad is that this stuff costs like a million billion dollars. It's $13 something a pound, which in the world of chicken salad is a whole fuckin lot (whatever, I deserve it). It's also super fresh, and so it doesn't last more than a couple of days before going bad, which is why I buy it in 1/2 pound batches. 

In summary, chicken florentine salad: I love you.
